Starmark, in association with the Society for the Preservation of Satyajit Ray Archives, organized the launch of its 2020 calendar— ‘The Global Footprints of Professor Shanku’ at its South City Mall outlet.

The launch of the Starmark Calendar 2020, based on Satyajit Ray’s illustrations was curated by Sandip Ray.

This calendar, with brief details and Satyajit Ray’s own illustrations, covers Professor Shanku’s adventures not only in his hometown Giridih, but also in the many distant places where his love for exploring the unknown takes him.

This was followed by an ‘adda’ session featuring Sandip Ray, Dhritiman Chaterji and Subhasish Mukherjee, moderated by the noted film historian Shiladitya Sen.

The calendar has been published by Starmark and designed by Pinaki De.

A cutout of Professor Shanku will be on display at Starmark, South City Mall outlet throughout January 2020, for everyone to pose and take selfies with the legendary fictional character created by Satyajit Ray.

The calendar is priced at Rs 295/-
